| George W. Hopkins is shown in the above picture. Al Osterhaut had asked him to come to Big Piney to run the newspaper office, so he moved with his family to Big Piney in 1918 from Evanston. Houses were scarce so he, his wife Annie, and their daughter, Muriel (Gray), lived in the back of the printing office next to the Gray Inn. On November 8, 1926, they moved to the new printing office next to the bank. It had a dining room, living room, kitchen and bath downstairs, three bedrooms upstairs, and the printing office in front. George continued to print the Big Piney Examiner from this building until the end of February, 1968. |
